Method:
Electronic databases were searched for studies of EF assessments in adults with ABI that reported any of 3 values: likelihood ratios (LRs), standardized group mean comparisons (ds), or correlations (rs) among EF tests. Forest plots were constructed for each value.

Conclusions:
Strong evidence concerning diagnostic accuracy and concurrent validity of EF measures for adults with ABI is lacking. Better specification of the construct of EF as well as research aimed at improving the quality of evidence concerning EF tests are needed.
